Maryland rock band Clutch have released their new single, “Beware The Fever,” from their upcoming fourteenth studio album, Wasted Lands, due January 22, 2027, through Weathermaker Music. The band have also announced their Give The People What They Want 2027 headlining tour with Corrosion of Conformity, Agnostic Front and Chuck Ragan.
“Beware The Fever” marks the first time Clutch have incorporated banjo into one of their recordings. The track follows previously released singles “The Drifter Returns” and “Wasted Lands,” and arrives with an accompanying music video.
Vocalist Neil Fallon explained that the song began as an experiment involving a banjo and a drum beat.
“‘Beware the Fever’ started out as a lark. I played some random melodies on a poorly tuned Deering Goodtime banjo and JP put a hip-hop beat to it. I thought that would be the end of it. Boy was I wrong,” Fallon said.
Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster added that the initial instrumental demo came together in less than 20 minutes, with Fallon’s original banjo recording ultimately making it onto the finished album.
Wasted Lands was written and recorded at the band’s Doom Saloon studio in Frederick, Maryland, and reunites Clutch with producer Machine for their fifth album together. The 12-track effort marks their first full-length release since 2022’s Sunrise on Slaughter Beach.
Clutch will support the album with an extensive 2027 tour, beginning February 5 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The main North American run will continue through April 4 in Brooklyn, New York, with stops in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Nashville and other cities.
Corrosion of Conformity, Agnostic Front and Chuck Ragan will support the headlining dates, except for the Honolulu show, which features local support, and the March 20 Mojave Experience festival appearance in Joshua Tree.
Before the North American trek, Clutch will also tour Australia in January with Corrosion of Conformity.
Artist presales begin Tuesday, November 10, at noon ET, with additional presales scheduled throughout the week. General ticket sales begin Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. local time.
